Section 106 agreements

We can provide reports on the current status of Section 106 agreements.

Section 106 agreements are negotiated between the council and developers during the planning application process to offset the negative impacts of the development. Things a developer may have to consider as part of the agreement include:

providing affordable housing

improving community facilities including open spaces, schools and recreation facilities

improving local transport facilities, highways and public rights of way

taking specific steps to lessen the impact on the local area including introducing parking restrictions, landscaping and noise insulation

offering local employment and training strategies

Once a Section 106 agreement is in place it will apply to that development, even if someone else buys it.
